Crash south of Meriden roughs up Meriden girl The Kansas Highway Patrol on April 8 investigated a one-vehicle accident that sent a Meriden teenager to the hospi-tal. The KHP identified the teen as 17-year-old Montana G. Grahem, the driver of a 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser. She suf-fered a possible injury and, complaining of pain, was trans-ported to Stormont-Vail Health-Care in Topeka for medical attention. According to the agency’s report, Grahem was traveling west on N.W. 62nd Drive when she encountered a large hole in the dirt road, causing her to overcorrect. In doing so, the PT Cruiser rotated 180 degrees and entered the south ditch, where it struck a tree, and that caused the sport utility vehicle to rotate 180 degrees to the west. The SUV came to rest in a wooded area. The report indicated that Grahem was wearing her seat belt. The accident happened at 4:53 p.m.
